hey all!

my mechnic said i need new rear brake pads.

would i need to change the front pads too?

im looking at endless and project mu pads, they go around 150.

do you guys think its OVERKILL for daily driving? and will it eat into the rotors?

would you guys have any suggestions on what pads are good?

THANK YOU!

Endless / Project MU would be great, but make sure you upgrade the rotors as well.

Or you will end up chewing through your rotors.

You could question a set of DBA 4000 Series Rotors with your mechanic first as they look like a decent upgrade just for street use.

well yea, i guesss i would of have to upgrade the rotors as well... =|

well atm not looking at upgrading them....

so i guesssing any standard pads from like auto-one or something would be good enough right?

what about this stuff http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18659&cat=286&page=1 ??

Thank you !

Consider QFM A1RMs, they are a good bang for buck pad that you can use daily right up to moderate track work :)

Depending of the thickness of your existing rotors you MAY be able to get away with just machining them, but rotors aren't that expensive anyway Click here for example pricing

Personally, I love my Project Mu HC+s... but they are dusty, noisy, pricey, not fantastic cold and eat rotors :laugh:

If you're not doing any track work I think you'll be better off with QFM HPX.

From everything I've heard A1RMs chew rotors quite a bit which is fine if you need great braking for track but probably not needed for street.

Call the guy at GLSRallysport (forum trader) & see what he suggests...

HPXs are cheap too at $80 per set

That should do you fine just for daily / street.

But for a peace of mind, I just went OEM Nissan pads and from memory they were about $120.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
